Parkinson’s disease-associated ATP13A2/PARK9 functions as a lysosomal H+,K+-ATPase
Open accessAbstract
Mutations in the human ATP13A2 (PARK9), a lysosomal ATPase, cause Kufor-Rakeb Syndrome, an early-onset form of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Here, we demonstrate that ATP13A2 functions as a lysosomal H + ,K + -ATPase. The K + -dependent ATPase activity and the lysosomal K + -transport activity of ATP13A2 are inhibited by an inhibitor of sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca 2+ -ATPase, thapsigargin, and K + -competitive inhibitors of gastric H + ,K + -ATPase, such as vonoprazan and SCH28080. Interestingly, these H + ,K + -ATPase inhibitors cause lysosomal alkalinization and α-synuclein accumulation, which are pathological hallmarks of PD. Furthermore, PD-associated mutants of ATP13A2 show abnormal expression and function. Our results suggest that the H + /K + -transporting function of ATP13A2 contributes to acidification and α-synuclein degradation in lysosomes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
